Bernie Sanders… damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.<\/p>\n

From an In These Times article<\/a>, with three feminists on the subject of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, the Bernie Sanders supporter of the three — Liza Featherstone — offers this … what I suppose is a statement about a certain roboticness and aloofness in not connecting the economic message and so blind to the problems on the ground…<\/p>\n

Years ago I went to a Bernie Sanders house party with my baby, and instead of trying to kiss the bably, like a politician, he just did what any old white man does, which is talk to you and ignore the baby<\/em>.<\/p>\n

At least he didn’t eat the baby<\/a>?\u00c2\u00a0 (The 2004 blog-post was inspired by a radio broadcast by Rick Emerson and probably Tim Riley — which as I recall was just them crying out as they watched Bush with the baby crying out “Don’t eat it!\u00c2\u00a0 Don’t … eat … the baby!” …)<\/p>\n

I suppose it also makes sense in the way Bernie Sanders doesn’t quite grasp the motive behind what would be construed as an inane question<\/a> — He’s not following the queries of hair coverage, because he’s issue-driven.<\/p>\n

Other interesting tid-bits rolling about Bernie Sanders on the early years… and… for his first Senate race we see “Sanders floated hippie-friendly proposals, such as legalizing all drugs, an end to compulsory education, and widening the entrance ramps of interstate highways to allow cars to more easily pull over to pick up hitch-hikers<\/a><\/em>“.\u00c2\u00a0 As well “he criticized water fluoridation as a government intrustion on individual freedom.”
\nIt was to grab headlines, it appears.<\/p>\n

But nonetheless.<\/p>\n

widening the entrance ramps of interstate highways to allow cars to more easily pull over to pick up hitch-hikers???\u00c2\u00a0 I want someone to ask him if he still agrees with the idea…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
